18:021:017 How oft is the candle of the wicked put
out! and how oft
cometh
their destruction upon them! God distributeth
sorrows
in
his anger.
18:021:018 They are as stubble before the wind, and
as chaff that the
storm
carrieth away.
18:021:019 God layeth up his iniquity for his children:
he rewardeth him,
and
he shall know it.
18:021:020 His eyes shall see his destruction, and
he shall drink of the
wrath
of the Almighty.
18:021:021 For what pleasure hath he in his house
after him, when the
number
of his months is cut off in the midst?
18:021:022 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he
judgeth those that
are
high.
18:021:023 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly
at ease and
quiet.
18:021:024 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones
are moistened with
marrow.
18:021:025 And another dieth in the bitterness of
his soul, and never
eateth
with pleasure.
18:021:026 They shall lie down alike in the dust,
and the worms shall
cover
them.
18:021:027 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices
which ye
wrongfully
imagine against me.
18:021:028 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?
and where are
the
dwelling places of the wicked?
18:021:029 Have ye not asked them that go by the way?
and do ye not know
their
tokens,
18:021:030 That the wicked is reserved to the day
of destruction? they
shall
be brought forth to the day of wrath.
18:021:031 Who shall declare his way to his face?
and who shall repay him
what
he hath done?
18:021:032 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and
shall remain in the
tomb.
18:021:033 The clods of the valley shall be sweet
unto him, and every man
shall
draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
18:021:034 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing
in your answers there
remaineth
falsehood?
18:022:001 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
18:022:002 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he
that is wise may be
profitable
unto himself?
18:022:003 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that
thou art righteous?
or
is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
18:022:004 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee?
will he enter with thee
into
judgment?
18:022:005 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
18:022:006 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother
for nought, and
stripped
the naked of their clothing.
18:022:007 Thou hast not given water to the weary
to drink, and thou hast
withholden
bread from the hungry.
